Additional altars and shrine fixtures in the Jalan Tenteram estate are not endorsed by the Town Council.
In a reply to STOMP, the Jalan Besar Town Council said:"The two altars/fixtures outside the ground floor premises at Block 20 Jalan Tenteram are not authorised by the Council.
"The residents concerned will be advised to regularize the matter."
Earlier, a STOMPer had highlighted the issue of addtional fixtures such as shrines and altars at Block 20 Jalan Tenteram.

Jalan Besar - "Town Council acts, but must they do so only upon feedback?"
What Bugs Me
Posted on 25 Oct, 2007
"The Jalan Besar Town Council would indeed send its contractor to clean-up the common properties upon a feedback. However, why would Town Council react only upon a feedback?" That's what a STOMPer wonders.

"The Jalan Besar Town Council would indeed send its contractor to clean-up the common properties upon a feedback. However, why would Town Council react only upon a feedback?" That's what a STOMPer wonders.
Said Ryan, in his email to STOMP:"Recently, at a few HDB blocks located in Jalan Tenteram, there are flyers glued on the walls of the lift lobby on every storey. "There are locksmith stickers on the newly painted utility doors on each storey too.
"Does the Town Council conduct check on the estate voluntarily or only upon receiving a complaint? "Are the culprits responsible for the additional cost in labor to clean up the vandalized common properties? "Would the culprits face a penalty fine for vandalizing the common properties?"
STOMP has contacted the Jalan Besar Town Council for a comment. Watch this space for updates.

Jalan Besar Town Council have removed the stickers and flyers attached to the utility doors, letter boxes and lift lobby walls of Blocks 16 to 19 Jalan Tenteram, following feedback from STOMPer Ryan.
In an email which was sent to STOMP today (30 Oct), a spokesman wrote:“Our inspection revealed that there were rampant pasting of the locksmith stickers on the utility doors at Blocks 16 to 19 Jalan Tenteram. “Also some flyers, causally posted on the letter boxes and lift lobby wall, by tuition centres and property agents were observed.“We have instructed the cleaning contractor to remove all stickers and flyers on 27 Oct.“The feedback from the residents will certainly be helpful to enhance the upkeep of the environment, complementing the monthly block inspections carried out by the Council’s staff.
“To prevent recurrence of such indiscriminate postings, we have cautioned the cleaning contractor to remove them upon sighting any, during their block cleaning. “The cost of removal of postings and cleaning up of common properties are included in the existing conservancy contract.
“Usually, the Council will caution advertisers who repeatedly indulged in such unauthorised advertisement to stop doing so. “The Council may seek the Police’s assistance and enforcement when the situation warrants.“We wish to thank Mr Ryan for his valuable feedback in this matter.

I totally agree with {yewteeman}, the cleaners at the said estate should not be burden with extra cleaning duties. The TC should file police report; the advertiser should face the consequences in vandalizing public properties.
I guess TC is probably taking the easy way out, as it is probably easier to bark orders at cleaner. Would the TC have equal leniency toward residents with late payment in conservancy fees?
Is it not frustrating that the money collected from monthly conservancy fees is spent subsidizing vandalizing advertiser. It should be the other way round, agree?
For us, the HDB residents, we are aware that this kind of vandalizing advertising (flyers and stickers) happened everywhere, anywhere in all HDB estates in Singapore daily. Considering those, would there ever be a TRUE winner in the coming Island-wide Cleanest Estate Competition?

The TC should get the advertisers to remove the stickers rather than asking the cleaning contractor which is paid out of the TC fund which is contributed by the residents.
TC should file police report and charge the advertisers for vandilising public properties instead of just "caution the advertisers".

A STOMPer is wondering if extra fixtures such as altars and makeshift shelters around Jalan Tenteram are endorsed by the town council.
Said Warrance: "These fixtures are built permanently along the covered walkway of Blk 20 Jalan Tenteram.
"One was even built next to a drain along Jalan Tenteram." (pictured below)
STOMP has contacted the Town Council for comment.
